Wow... we had a massive rainstorm the other morning. When I opened the rear compartment on our new 3100SS there was 2 inches of water in the tub. Good thing it has a drain hole. I need to seal that up. Anyone else have crappy seals on theirs?

Also have a faulty propane gauge that reads full... and I mean FULL. Wish I would have seen that at the PDI. Tried tapping it and a magnet to free it. Nothing. Back to the dealer since the local propane dealer won't put a new gauge on it. Grrr.

Not untypical for exterior compartments to leak. So far I think mine are ok but...

As for the gauge reading 100% full, what does your control panel light tell you?

We used our propane for a year, traveled 5000 mi with the frig on propane, cooked, and used the furnace a few nights. Still the propane gauge said full. It was "almost" empty when we filled it last week. At least now we can gauge how long the full tank lasts!

If you are talking about the gauge on top of propane tank, please post if you are able to get a replacement. We have tried for over a year. Started with Forest River with no luck, tried with dealers and no luck. We were told you have to get the part from a propane dealer and we are unable to do so here. Maybe we are asking the wrong question but it seems one should be able to get a replacement part.

NCVET: Yep, the actual gauge. I tried a propane dealer too and was told they don't do it and don't know where to send me. It's likely a warranty issue but didn't want to go to the dealer. Our other Sunseeker gauge was quite accurate. Hope to have this replaced soon.

TOM3205: It's and enclosed bottom and the drain plug unscrews if you wish to hose it out. I took it out and let it drain.

On the seals leaking, mine have leaked since day 1 with my CC. I had company send me new seals and replaced them and it worked for awhile but it didn't last long. The way my doors close it squeezes the seal on top of door at the hinge so tight that they compress and stay that way. Then it starts to leak again. I think it is a defect in the way the hinge closes on my door but I see no way to change it. I keep a sponge in the compartment to soak up the water but it will eventually destroy the wood flooring.

Also the outside of the door leaks where the frame fits around the composite face of the door. This lets water into the inside of the door itself and eventually eats out my lock on the hatch. I have replaced two locks so far that were totally eaten from corrosion, all from water getting to it. Really is irritating!

Are there mounting screws in the bottom of the door frame that are outside the door seal? Our last tt had two screws in each door frame that where outside the door seals on the bottom of the frame. Rain water would sit on the bottom ledge of the door and seep through the screw hole and enter the storage compartment. I removed the screws and sealed the holes with silicone then put the screws back in. I put another bead of silicone over the screws. No more leak. Not sure why someone would install the compartment doors with screws outside the seal but it happened.
